Interesting fact
The Trihemiobol coin was used in ancient Macedon during the 5th century BC and was equivalent to one-third of an Obol, which was the standard unit of currency at the time. The coin features an image of a horseman on one side and a incuse square on the other. Despite its small size, the Trihemiobol was an important coin in ancient Macedon and was used for everyday transactions.
